As we observe the latest news from Eurasia you will notice that there are 3 major 'Beasts' contending for expansion & domination in that region of the world. One of these includes the largest country on Earth with the most nuclear weapons ( Russia ) the other giant includes one of the largest religions on the planet ( Militant Islam ) and the third giant includes the largest military and economic alliance of nations on Earth ( EU-NATO ) The Islamic Beast from the South is trying to dominate all aspects of the Middle East 'but' the existence of the State of Israel stands in its way and continues to be a major military & geopolitical embarrassment to the numerous Islamic Terror groups & Arab Nations. The 'Russian Beast' from the North is trying to devour the Ukraine and is looking to dominate the Baltics. The Beast who has yet to be finalized the 'European Union' is still expanding slowly East with the help of NATO; & to the dismay of Russia. There is no question that the region is a 'powder keg' just waiting to explode and according to Bible Prophecy 'explode it will in the future !' We know that Russia will eventually lead an Islamic coalition against Israel in the future and we also know that the Holy GOD of Israel will virtually decimate them before the entire world. As both Russia and the Muslim nations suffer great losses and military embarassment; the 'Little Horn' from the EU will step in to broker the 7 year 'Peace and Security Covenant with the Many.' The present situation between the : EU, Russia, Arab Muslim countries and Israel is just getting started. Students of Bible Prophecy know where it will ultimately end and we also know that the 4th Beast will in the end 'DOMINATE' and destroy what will be left of the Russian and Islamic Beasts as it sets its sights against Israel. We know that war is coming and the 'Man of Sin' will thrive in it. As war explodes in the region the 'EU 10' will be the last Beast standing, Bible Prophecy guarantees it ( Daniel 7 : 23 ) the Russian and Islamic Beasts are going down ! Russia and Militant Islam aren't the only players in the region bent on 'Conquest' Revelation 6 warns that the First Horseman of the Apocalypse will succeed where Russia and Islam will fail. I just heard someone on CNN state that the EU appears 'clueless and invisible' as the region escalates into further violence; 'BUT' you and I know it's only temporary; the 4th Beast will make a majestic return & re-emergence that will ASTOUND the whole world ! ( Revelation 17 :8 ) You and I know that Israel's 'MOST' lethal adversary of all time won't come from the North or be from the South of it; 'BUT' it shall come from the West; from the same people's who destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and caused the diaspora* ( Daniel 9 :26)
